I'm the Demon King in Marvel

"Uh..." Big Peter pointed behind the three little ones and reminded them, "Your magic flame is still burning."

"Wat?" The three little ones turned around suddenly.

The buildings in the town had been burned clean by the fierce fire, and the flesh and bones of the zombies had been burned to ashes, but there was a layer of sticky liquid attached to the ground. The liquid was still burning, and no matter how the fierce fire burned, there was no sign of reduction.

"How could this happen?" Gwen stared, bewildered.

They are experts in playing with fire. They have used the Fiery Fire Curse many times and have long since figured out the time it takes for most combustible materials to be burned by the Fiery Fire, such as human bodies, buildings, trees, etc.

The bodies of ordinary people and animals can only last from a few seconds to more than ten seconds in a fierce fire, and reinforced concrete can only last for two or three minutes.

That was why Gwen dared to allow the violent Ned to set fires many times. Anyway, as long as they stayed away from urban areas and forests, the fierce fire would soon burn out.

But the viscous liquid in front of him was not afraid of the burning of the fierce fire at all.

"These should be blood cells that carry the zombie virus. I heard from Mr. Stark that this virus cannot be eliminated and will always remain in the blood of living things." Big Peter explained to the three little ones.

"What should we do now?" Little Ned and Little Peter looked at Gwen. "If we leave it alone, will this sea of ​​fire continue to burn?"

"I only know how to set fires, not recycle. The principal never taught me..." Little Ned said angrily.

"If these liquid substances can keep burning..." Little Peter's brain suddenly switched to the science channel, with a look of joy on his face: "Then haven't we helped mankind find eternal energy?"

"Idiot!" Gwen shouted angrily, "What materials are you going to find to withstand the constant burning of the fierce fire?"

"Uh..." Little Peter was at a loss for words, but he was unwilling to give up his great scientific dream, so he insisted, "We can find a way to find it..."

Gwen didn't bother to pay attention to him and just wanted to solve the trouble at hand.

Chapter 437 The calm before the storm

After getting rid of the burden, the refugee team led by Peter Parker shrank dramatically, leaving only his classmates and family members, less than a hundred people.

"I don't understand. Aren't we here to do a mission? Why did we become scavengers?"

Little Ned rode on his flying broom, and from time to time he waved his magic wand towards the state highway below, casting the "Fragmentation Spell" or the "Restoration Spell" to clear obstacles on the road or repair the damaged road surface.

Little Peter and Gwen were also riding on their broomsticks, doing the same thing.

"Aunt Mei is here, your parents are here, and there are also those familiar classmates. It would be bad to just watch them get eaten by zombies, right?"

Little Peter didn't do it to enjoy the praise from his acquaintances from another time and space!

But he just couldn't suppress the frown on his lips.

Gwen shook her head and didn't respond.

After they accidentally created an unextinguishable sea of ​​fire, Gwen immediately used the portkey to return to New York. After returning to her own universe, she informed Principal Tom and her ally Captain Rogers.

At present, Principal Tom is collecting samples by the sea of ​​fire, intending to conduct in-depth research, in fact, to prepare more data about the zombie virus for Lin Hao.

The three little ones followed the refugee group led by Peter all the way south, intending to send people to the Atlanta settlement first and then go to the nearby area to contact more zombies.

After all, there are many acquaintances of theirs in this team. Although they have never had any intersection in the past, the three little ones cannot remain indifferent when looking at these familiar faces.

Behind the three magicians were two buses speeding on the road.

"That's so cool!" Big Ned shouted excitedly in the car ahead. "Magic is so cool!"

As he said this, he turned and looked at his best friend with a bit of disgust.

"Peter, your superpowers are not as effective as magic."

"I'm so sorry." Big Peter rolled his eyes at him.

"Peter, is that you from another universe?" Aunt May asked him excitedly, "It looks exactly like you!"

"Not only do we look alike, we even have the same genes."

Big Peter seemed to have lost all hope in life. After his other self arrived, all the attention of people around him was focused on him.

It's like a relative suddenly brings his girlfriend home, and that girlfriend looks a lot like him...

Uh, something seems wrong.

Wait, this is America?

That's fine.

"Is there me in another universe? Wouldn't I be younger and more beautiful there?"

"Help!" Big Peter had to squeeze to the back row and sat down next to Michelle Jones. Seeing that his MJ was still calm, Peter was very relieved: "Fortunately, you are different from them."

But Michelle suddenly asked: "Who are the girls next to them? Are they your elementary school classmates? Why haven't I heard you mention them?"

A faint murderous aura surrounded Peter, as if saying the wrong thing would bring about a catastrophic disaster.

"No! I've never seen her. If you don't believe me, ask Ned!" Peter was clever for once.

Michelle narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled: "Look how scared you are, I was just asking casually."

Peter breathed a sigh of relief.

When a woman gets jealous, she is scarier than a zombie!

The addition of the three magicians made the rest of the journey easy, and they arrived in Atlanta in just three days.

At this time, Atlanta has become a huge construction site, with countless construction robots busy at work. A circle of towering walls surrounds the entire city. A large number of steel armors are floating in the sky, and they will immediately take action once they detect zombies approaching.

Seeing this scene, Peter and his friends all felt a rare sense of security.

"finally reached!"

"We don't have to worry about zombies in there anymore, right?"

"Peter, quickly contact Mr. Stark and ask him if he has prepared accommodation for us."

While the high school students were still expressing their feelings and shock, their parents reacted immediately.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are people, there are classes.

What is before you is a doomsday fortress. In the doomsday environment, the original order is broken and a new order is about to be formed. Whoever can take the lead at this time will be able to stand at the top of the pyramid in the future.

Who doesn’t want to live a good life?

Peter was at a loss as to what was happening, but Michelle reacted immediately, took out her tablet, and played the "resettlement regulations" formulated by Stark.

"Welcome to the Atlanta settlement. The construction work is very heavy at the moment and we need more survivors to participate in the construction..."

"Everyone knows that America and even the whole world are facing a doomsday crisis. The original production order has been disrupted, and daily necessities are in short supply..."

"Therefore, the settlement will implement the distribution principle of 'labor for materials' in the future. Every adult survivor will need to participate in labor in exchange for the materials needed for life."

"Underage children will continue to receive education in school. The good news is that schools will no longer charge tuition fees, and teachers will receive higher than average pay by teaching instead of labor."

“If someone is unwilling to accept these regulations, the settlement will not accept him into the community.”

After Tony Stark finished speaking these words in the commentary video, everyone on the bus fell silent.

If you don’t get any privileges, do you still need to participate in labor?

People from average families were just a little disappointed but quickly adjusted themselves to the situation, but several well-off families frowned.

After Tony and Steve from the main universe of the movie visited the "Base Universe", they were somewhat influenced by another Captain America. In addition, extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures, so Tony, a smart man, naturally knew that this management method was most suitable for the "Doomsday Fortress".

The biggest obstacle to the implementation of this rule is the original upper class. Unfortunately, these people left the city as early as the beginning of the zombie outbreak. Some flew to other countries to try to escape, while others returned to their manors in the suburbs, and none of them had a good end.

The zombie virus is not a war, and it will not abide by the Western society’s principle of “preferential treatment of the nobility” and treat everyone equally.

Less than ten days after the zombie virus broke out, six out of ten of the upper-class figures in America and even the world were killed, because even if these guys hid, they would need a large number of servants to serve or protect them. Once someone was bitten by a mosquito, it would be easy to spread in the blocked manor.

Only large conglomerates have the ability to create an absolutely clean living environment; small conglomerates simply do not have the resources to do so.

Of course, the number of casualties among ordinary people is naturally greater, but there are always sporadic small groups surviving in various corners.

No matter how harsh the environment is, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, humans will survive as tenaciously as cockroaches.

They were at the mercy of others and could only wait to die outside if they could not enter the city. Several families that had once been well-off were forced to accept the management regulations of the settlement.

After all, these settlements were all snatched back from the zombies by Tony Stark using the Iron Man and drones. He also spent a lot of effort to clean the city and build walls. In the future, he will also build an energy shield covering the entire city.

Just work, just think of it as working for Stark Industries. It was not easy to get into such a good company in the past!

Thinking of this, the refugees accepted the reality.

After living there for a few days, they found that the settlement was indeed safe. Although the energy shield had not yet been built, mosquitoes and small animals infected with the zombie virus occasionally bit people, but they were quickly dealt with by the iron armor controlled by artificial intelligence.

Friday has developed a well-honed repertoire of solutions.

The refugees regained their rare peaceful days, but this calm was just an illusion before the storm.

Chapter 438: Every failure makes you wiser, thank you!

(PS: This chapter is a bit watery, please subscribe if you mind.)

The finger snap that Thanos performed five years ago was not without benefits to America in the main universe of the movie. After the population was reduced by half, America ushered in the "AI era" and concentrated its efforts on automated production in order to keep productivity in America.

As we all know, America’s three major advantages are the attraction of “American freedom” to outstanding talents and capital from all over the world, the “oil-dollar” hegemony system, and its globally distributed military force.

They use their talent and financial advantages to innovate in various fields, seize the global market with high-tech products, and obtain excess profits.

At the same time, it reaps global wealth through raising and lowering interest rates on the US dollar linked to energy, and then ensures that all of this wealth can be imported into the United States through its military forces distributed around the world.

Therefore, technology, the US dollar and the military are the three core competitive strengths of the United States.

In order to maintain its leadership and continued profitability, the United States must maintain its technological leadership, dollar hegemony and strong military deterrence.

Our three major advantages are a complete industrial system, a team of highly qualified industrial engineers and a huge domestic consumer market.

After joining the WTO, the Sino-US cooperation model is that the United States provides high technology and we engage in large-scale production, and our products are sold to the world. Both the United States and China benefit from it, but the United States accounts for the lion's share.

In order to change this low-profit model, the newly established Ministry of Science and Technology will mobilize the whole country to carry out scientific and technological innovation and completely get rid of the original economic growth model.

But the Americans are used to making easy money and want to return to the original international division of labor, so that we are responsible for production and they are responsible for collecting money.

This is the root cause of trade friction.

However, although the United States has the world's best talents engaged in research and development, its industrial system had already collapsed during the period of "de-industrialization".

Due to the high cost of domestic labor and a developed financial system, the United States gradually used its technological and capital advantages to transfer manufacturing plants to Asia, Europe, and South America.

There is almost no strong and complete manufacturing industry system in the United States.
